MY STORY
Photographer, Editor, & Creative Director
Photography has always been a part of my life. Growing up with parents who both held BFAs in fine art meant that our home was more of a creative playground than anything else. I spent countless hours in our darkroom, where the smell of developing chemicals became as familiar as the scent of a home-cooked meal.
My path naturally led me to pursue a BFA from Parsons, where my love for photography and fashion deepened. After directing a shoe brand for seven years, I realized that my heart was always behind the lens. So, I made the leap into full-time photography, and I haven’t looked back since.
I've been fortunate to photograph for top PR firms, see my work published in various news outlets, and even edit for The Met Red Carpet. But above all, what drives me is the sheer joy of capturing moments, telling stories, and doing what I truly love every single day.
I do this because it’s not just a job—it’s who I am. There’s something magical about freezing a moment in time, capturing the essence of a person or event, and knowing that it will be cherished long after the shutter clicks. Photography allows me to blend my love for fashion, art, and storytelling into one fulfilling career. I can’t imagine doing anything else.
I've had the privilege to team up with some incredible names in the industry. Working with the renowned photography agency, BFA, has paved the way for collaborations with brands like Givenchy, Valentino, NYON, Fleur Du Mal, and more! I thrive in high energy environments - and a career highlight was having the opportunity to onsite edit for the Met Gala back in 2023.
At Steck Studios, I’ve been fortunate to work with a diverse range of corporate clients and brands I deeply admire, including Cynthia Rowley, Saint James, Bandier, Bollinger, Waterdrop, and many more. I also love my partnerships and collaborations with PR agencies like Shadow and 5th Column.
I am also all about capturing those moments and milestones for my clients - proposals, engagement parties, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, civil ceremonies, and intimate moments between couples and families, personal portraits and more.
Connecting with people is what truly drives my work.
Clients appreciate my ability to see the bigger picture while focusing on the details that matter most. Whether it’s a high-profile event or an intimate portrait, they trust me to deliver something unique, something that resonates. I think people come to me because they know I genuinely love what I do, and that passion comes through in every shot.
The simplest way to reach out is through the contact page on my website but feel free to DM me on instagram to kick it off! The process is as simple as it seems, just let me know the date, time, and location of your event, and we'll promptly begin the booking process.
I am living my dream as a NYC photographer. I will keep pushing myself to learn, explore, and travel so you’ll just have to follow @steckstudios on instagram to see what comes next!

“I hired Sabrina to photoshoot my bridal shower and she was INCREDIBLE. Firstly, her personality was someone that I genuinely wanted to be around during this fun night with my closest friends and family. Not only did our personalities go well together, but she also was able to adapt to the crowd so quickly. It was a smaller room with a lot of girls, yet she had no issue getting different angles and capturing such fun moments. I can't wait to work with her on future events & milestones!”

“Sabrina Steck is an extraordinary photographer. She has photographed a wide array for events for me from live performances to cocktail receptions, seated dinners to daytime festivals and has crushed every job. Some of my very favorite photos from my life are photos Sabrina took. She effortlessly captures the movement and beauty of events & the joy and personality of people. Not only is Sabrina incredible at her craft, but she is a joy to work with. She is warm, collaborative, supportive, fast-working and punctual. She always exceeds my expectations personally and professionally. I would (and have!) trust her with capturing my most important & cherished moments.”
